free Wifi @ First Bus

First bus have Free WiFi great signal onboard and with no sign up required. They have this on First Hampshire in Southampton and am sure its on others. It even works outside if bus is parked up and out of service waiting for route to start.

I think it's a good spot, but can see someone pointing out it's not free as you have to pay your fare!?!

Great Deal, um... bought?

Should be in the misc section really I suppose.

Does thisn mean i can run behind the bus and get free wifi?

Free Wi-Fi...How could this be cold? If you're using the bus anyways, then it's great to be able to connect for free. Hot from me. (despite not living in the area)

I suppose you could sit in your car outside the bus garage!!

Agree not easy to use lappy or tab in moving bus but suppose OK for checking emails and reading.

Not really because you would still have to buy a ticket to be able to board the bus. Freebies is usually where there is no price for obtaining the benefit of something.

I guess a woman could also plug a mini vacuum cleaner in the usb port and clean the car and lipstick of course

Like the usual by first, we wont get this until 2024 down here in cornwall. By time the wireless has been hit with so many requests, will be luck to pick any signal up. Good deal, espcially if you got a bus pass.

I hope some one from authorties reads this. To even think of doing that, is criminal, and you should be fined for sugessting the idea of breaking the law.

I am sure you do pay for this in the ridiculously inflated fares they charge

Brilliant - you can't get the hipsters out of cafe's since they offered free WiFi. Imagine them with an all day bus ticket and their mac books. Buncha fruits!

I looked it up for you — “thisn” doesn’t seem to have any meaning at all whatsoever. It’s merely an incomprehensible random string of characters with little or no communication value.

1st Sep 2012

not a deal as such and no good to me but its a good deal none the lesshot

1st Sep 2012

It's good that they provide free wifi, however I think these day and age everybody who uses internet away from home would have a data plan (unlimited plans are very popular).

As If bus journeys arent anti-social enough!!

To me it communicates "this" with an n on the end, but I accept that I'm particularly gifted.

Yes, and if you get run over by a bus you'll be able to update your Facebook status whilst waiting for the ambulance.
